But you do need to draw the line somewhere, in this case some have chosen proper training and using equipment designed for the job, You have chosen to require less training, and addition ops.

I don't know if there are that many additional ops involved.
Even with cold saws I mill or grind the ends that are critical.
Take for example a 1-2-3 block they aren't just cut.

I think the issue is also one of expectations.
There are plenty of ways to cut aluminum but not everything needs be micron accurate.

In fact wasting time for accuracy you don't need is as much an issue as designing things that require accuracy when there are more forgiving alternatives.
